Head of Engineering

Remote (US) | $200k–$250k + Equity

If you’re tired of building features you don’t believe in… this is where your work actually changes lives.

What’s in it for you?

You won’t be inheriting a bloated org, endless meetings, or layers of approval.

Instead, you’ll own the engineering function end-to-end, reporting directly to the founder, shaping the product, the team, and the technical direction of a fast-moving healthtech company solving real problems in senior living.

This is a role for someone who wants autonomy, trust, and meaningful impact—not just a bigger title.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

Leading a team of 5 engineers where your decisions directly affect product quality and delivery speed
Which means you’ll see your ideas shipped, not stalled.
Designing and delivering solutions end-to-end, from architecture to execution
So you’re not boxed into “just managing” or “just coding.”
Turning customer feedback into real product improvements
Meaning you build software people actually use—and thank you for.
Owning priorities, trade-offs, and delivery across multiple projects
Giving you visibility, influence, and trust at the highest level.
Working directly with the founder and cross-functional leaders
So engineering has a real voice in business decisions.

The tech you’ll lead with

TypeScript, Node.js, React
Deep Git workflows
Full-stack product development
Agile processes
Exploration of new tech like AI and voice-to-script (and yes, even hardware when needed)

Which means this role stays interesting—not repetitive.

What you’ll need

5+ years in software engineering, with at least 1 year leading a team
Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript, Node.js, and React
Confidence explaining technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders
A product mindset—you care why something is built, not just how
Curiosity and comfort exploring new technologies

No buzzwords required. Just solid engineering leadership and a bias for action.

What you’ll get

$200,000–$250,000 salary + competitive equity
Fully remote (US-based)
Visa sponsorship not available
A small, high-calibre team (11 people) that moves fast and avoids mediocrity - Less politics. More progress.
A product already in market, integrated with EHRs, delivering measurable revenue and cost outcomes - You’re scaling something proven—not gambling on an idea.

This super cool healthtech startup build operational software that increases care revenue and reduces labor costs—without forcing operators to rip out existing systems.

No switching EHRs. No double data entry. No painful onboarding.

Just software that fits into real workflows and delivers quantifiable outcomes from day one.
